Letter: HB2 ‘a solution in search of a problem’

Gov. Pat McCrory has clarified the misinformation surrounding HB2. Apparently HB2 is a “common sense” solution to a complex problem and he stated that HB2 was in response to Charlotte’s “government overreach” which he called “a solution in search of a problem”. Ironically that’s how I would describe HB2... “a solution in search of a problem” and “government overreach”.

Since I constantly hear supporters of this bill state that this law was enacted to protect our children from predators masquerading as transgendered, allow me to offer a simple solution to this issue: The legislators should release the evidence of this transgender predatory problem that created a need for a special legislative session (it must have been an overwhelming immediate threat) or they should admit that HB2 was a “solution in search of a problem” and repeal this “government overreach.” Considering the damage that HB2 has done to our state it’s the least they can do. Everyone reading this should email the governor and legislators ....offer this simple solution to the dilemma they have put our state in. If the legislators won’t do this ... allow me to offer one more common sense solution ... vote the demagogues out of office.
